Initial Thoughts - H2D

According to my smart plug, my H2D is pulling around 1600 watts when it’s heating the bed, and nozzle I presume, to 55 or 70 (pla & PETG). What I found interesting is that when the bed is heating to 100 and the chamber is heating to 60, it’s actually pulling less than just the bed heating alone. It’s somewhere around the high 1400’s to low 1500’s and the bed heats slower. When the bed is done heating the power drops to about 800 until the chamber is warmed up. Then it bounces between the mid 200’s and 600 as the heater kicks on and off.

Is it cutting the bed heating power down when the chamber heater is in use to keep the overall power usage down?
